[Prognostic factors for cancer patients in the postanesthetic recovery unit].
To assess the prognosis of cancer patients in an intensive care unit (ICU), to compare the capabilities of severity scoring systems to predict hospital death, and to improve prediction by adding new variables. ⋯ Medical oncology patients should not all be denied intensive care. None of the systems assessed offer clinically relevant advantages for predicting hospital mortality in nonsurgical oncology patients in the ICU, although we recommend the SAPS II because it includes oncologic variables, is easy to score, and has good prognostic capability.
